Winter transfer window

[Southern A]

I can already imagine the conspiracy theories that we know he wont play this season but we signed him anyway to appease the fans that we tried. That's not plausible though. Liverpool wouldn't do that. All parties must expect him to recover to play a part here.

 

[kingkeane]

It will very like be something down to stress. Hope it's not a stress fracture. This is common in young players who are developing. It's not usually picked up until a scan or medical. Can only heal properly with rest. That seems to be the words KS is using too.

I honestly don't think we would have signed him if it was that serious. why would we even bother.

 

[MadMackem77]

Phil Smith in his article reckons no party was aware of it, can’t be THAT serious surely

As prehab says

you usually aren’t for these kinds of issues

 

[Roppa]

Aye if its a stress fracture we're talking months. Might not be a fracture though.

Tbh it’ll be what it’ll be the club hasn’t ****ed up much this season so gotta trust they’ve done the deal knowing he’s gonna play some part probably sooner rather than later.

 

[Brainy Dose]

**** me! We are coming into the last 16 matches in a very important season.....the last thing we need to do is to sign someone who needs a ****ing rest!

 

[Southern A]

I reckon its proactive management of his previous injury rather than reacting to a new reoccurence of the injury. I know people who've had stress fractures in the foot (from my running club) and they were in agony. I can't imagine anybody could have a stress fracture and not know they were injured until having a medical. So for me the scan has to have shown something might happen rather than show something that has happened.

Yeah you can’t imagine he’d have played mid week and been fine if he’d have had a stress fracture in his back.

 

[Southern A]

That said, I can definitely imagine Danns becomes the new Salis. Every press conference "when's Danns back" ; "should be in a couple of weeks". for the next 2 months

 

[CR17]

Sounds to me he just needs a period of rest to make sure he is fully healed from a previous injury before risking it

Brother there’s 16 games left

 

[TopCat.]

if it’s occurred again now I’m furious the club have signed him,

 

[CR17]

There's also weeks where there is no games due to cups, he could be having a few weeks rest, who's to say it's months?

 

[MadMackem77]

Sorry probably an overreaction

but it seems so so silly to me. Hopefully it’s not long. But it is the same injury that sidelined him for 6 months

 

[Frazier the Lion]

Apparently related to an injury he had previously

he was out for 6 months with a lower back stress fracture and came back in November

if it’s occurred again now I’m furious the club have signed him,

Furious?

 

[Southern A]

He might be back when there's 14 left Or 10. Its no big deal. It was likely too late to bring in somebody else so they probably decided better to have him for 10, 8 or 6 games than 0 games.

As long as we're not paying all his wages during the rest, there's little we could have done differently, other than try to secure him earlier (which wasn't possible considering Liverpool's stance)

Maybe just give the club some credit that they know what they are doing eh?

Stress fractures have long recovery times

he’s just been out for 6 months with the same injury and then a month later has it again

I’m voicing my opinion i give the club credit. In my view it seems silly

I'm pretty confident (although no sort of expert) that he doesn't have a stress fracture in his back. Maybe a stress reaction, but not a fracture.

 

[Wardley Makem]

I'd rather have him than have no signing. Obviously picked up late. Looks like we will have playoff games as well so the more bodies the better
